Medical Insurance for Users/Visitors

Users’ must provide evidence that they have medical insurance covering them while at Fermilab.  The evidence must be in one of the following forms:

1. A completed, signed Medical Insurance Attestation,
2. Your Declaration of Coverage from your insurance company, or
3. Your medical insurance card.

If you present a Declaration of Coverage or medical insurance card, please ensure that you have the original document with you when you apply for your Badge at the Users’ Office.  The Users’ Office will copy the document and return the original to you.

If you do not have valid U.S. medical insurance that would cover you while at Fermilab, you must purchase such medical insurance.  You either may purchase medical insurance before your arrival and present proof of your coverage during the ID Badge application process, or apply for coverage after arrival, which would delay the issuance of your ID Badge.
